As expected, when the old lady heard the words ‘bought a new house’ her eyes lit up.
“What? Bought a new house?” Old Madam Wang asked anxiously, “Where did you buy it? How much was it?”
Old Madam Wang wanted to ask who bought it and if the owner of the car parked outside bought it, but she was too embarrassed to ask.
Even if she didn’t like her daughter, she was still Wang Yunmei’s mother. It wouldn’t be good for her to ask her daughter if she had hooked up with a rich man.
Jian Ai couldn’t help but sneer in her heart when she saw the old lady’s reaction. It was exactly what she had expected.
You want to know?
I won’t let you know!
Jian Ai shook her head innocently. “I don’t know.”
Her words were like a bucket of cold water that poured down on her. It made Old Madam Wang’s expression freeze. Then, she said with disappointment, “Tsk, how can you not know? Don’t you know where you bought the house?”
Jian Ai still shook her head. “I don’t know.”
When Old Madam Wang heard this, she immediately heaved a sigh like a deflated balloon. She seemed to mutter to herself, but she was actually talking to Jian Ai. “Why didn’t Xiao Mei tell me about buying a house? She just secretly bought it.”
Wang Yunmei had struggled for half her life, and the Wang family had despised her for half her life. Now that South City was going to be demolished, Wang Yunmei had the deed to three courtyards in her hands. She also suddenly bought a new house. Old Madam Wang naturally could not help but calculate in her heart.
The car in the yard looked like it was worth a lot of money. Perhaps Xiao Mei really found a big boss? The old lady thought to herself.
“Is Elder Sister at home?”
At this moment, a call sounded from outside the yard. Jian Ai immediately frowned. With just a shout, she knew who had come.
“Oh, I think it’s your aunt.”
The old lady slapped her leg. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Li Xia push the door open and enter the house.
Seeing that the old lady was also in the living room, Li Xia was stunned. She then said, “Oh, Mom, you’re here too.”
The old lady gave a more sincere smile. After all, Li Xia had “a lump of meat” in her stomach!
“Xia, why are you here so early in the morning?” The old lady stood up and helped Li Xia. She had a concerned look on her face. “You’re pregnant, so don’t keep running out. Just tell Mom if there’s anything.”
“It’s not good to stay at home all the time. I just wanted to come to Elder Sister’s house to walk around.”
Although Li Xia said that, she thought to herself, ‘It’s been so many days since the incident. This old lady has made no progress at all. If I don’t take the initiative, the demolition fee will go straight into Elder Sister’s pocket after the City Planning Bureau measures the house area!’
By then, it would be too late.
“Yes, but you have to walk around more with your elder sister,” the old lady said.
Jian Ai rolled her eyes in her heart when she saw the two of them singing the same tune.
“Aunt came at a bad time. My mother isn’t at home,” Jian Ai said indifferently.
“Oh, is that so?” Li Xia was disappointed and thought to herself that she had made a wasted trip again. She had come countless times in the past half a month, but she always missed her. Did Elder Sister have a radar on her head? She could always avoid her.
The noodles on the table were so lumpy that there was no soup left. Jian Ai had no intention of eating them, anyway. She immediately said to Old Madam Wang, “Grandma, take these noodles back. I appreciate your kindness, but I won’t eat the noodles.”
